Cute Dragons ("How To Train Your Dragon 3" Review , 2019)

Especially the new heroine, the little white lizardly thingy - looks like a bunny and a cat at the same time, moves smoothly, hums and purrs, makes reproachful eyes and spits hot plasma. It is not surprising that the "pet" of the protagonist, already battle-hardened boy Hiccup, curious Toothless, fell in love with her! Very nice couple, even if they are dragons. (I already want to draw them) The cartoon itself is also good, even…

Bohemian Rhapsody Review (2018)

The script simplified for the sake of drama without strong halftones, with fantastic attention to detail of the seventies and eighties. This is the story of youth, the rise, fall and redemption of their mistakes, the biography of the rock singer Freddie Mercury, whose star went out as quickly as it lit up, as well as the story of the rest of the Queen members. A long, drawn-out and at the same time driving, semi-documentary…

Prophet from Nazareth ("Jesus. Historical investigation" by Yulia Latynina Review)

Since the time of the Cro-Magnons, fleeing from the cold by the fires of caves decorated with drawings, we have been trying to explain the world around us, to make it understandable and logical from the point of view of our knowledge and experience. We get to know the surrounding reality with the help of stories that we tell ourselves. That's why we came up with them. They worshiped them, feared them, made sacrifices to…

Lera (3D, WIP)

A portrait of my wonderful bride. Spent a lot of time before it turned out to be something more or less good. The result is not yet perfect and there is still a lot to work on, but at least it's not a shame to show it. 3ds Max, Sculptris + Mudbox, Vray, Photoshop. The render and model are not final, there is still a skeleton for the pose and facial expressions.
